SUBJECT: Regional Office Review & Recommendations
Application for Permit for Excavation and/or Fill
Blue Heron Bay/Ray H. Messmer
Carteret County
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to develop a 64 lot
subdivision with a 2 acre highground marina.
ADJACENT WATER BODY: Bogue Sound
CLASSIFICATION: SA
STATUS: Open
The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality.
The following comments are provided.
It is recommended that the project be denied based on the fact that
there will be an automatic closure of productive shellfish areas
including the entire entrance canal and extending 25' outside the
canal into Bogue Sound, according to Bob Benton of Shellfish
Sanitation.
Final stormwater comments were submitted on 5/12/88.
The Planning Branch should be contacted concerning an evaluation of
the D.O. Modelling submitted by Paton/Zucchino & Associates.
A Use Attainability Analysis has been completed and attached.

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Mr. Roy H. Messmer,
from Sparta, New Jersey, has recently acquired a 51.9 ac.
tract of land off Highway 24, formerly known as the Archie
Page Farm, located about 1 mile west of the Broad Creek, on
Bogue Sound, in Carteret County. Another familiar landmark
to most of the review agencies is the highground basin at
Bogue Sound Yacht Club immediately east of the project site.
The Messmer property consists of a rectangular tract of land
measuring about 600' wide x 3750' long, extending from the
highway to the sound. Both the 1976 and 1984 aerial
photography, referenced on the cover sheet of this report,
both accurately show the project site and the surrounding
geography. The property, and the focus of this permit
request, includes a small highground boat basin (100' x 751)
and a narrow access channel (500' x 25') leading to the Bogue
Sound shoreline. That work appears to have been authorized
by a State Dredge and Fill Permit #529-71, issued to Mr.
Barrington Leo Page in 1971. The applicant contends that an
offshore entrance channel measuring.approximately 475' long
x 30' wide was dredged during the original development of
the small basin back in the mid-1970's. As of this date,
the Division of Coastal Management has no documentation to
support the contention that the entrance channel was ever
dredged, or that the original permit authorized the channel
work. The 1978 aerial photography shows the highground
basin and access channel, but no offshore entrance channel.
The 1984 photography, however, does show a ribbon-thin
entrance channel, the type of channel that is created by
boat traffic and prop wash, using the same alignment over
several years. Nevertheless, as the project plans show, the
new channel will require dredging through a large bed of
submerged aquatic vegetation dominated by eelgrass (Zostera
marina) and some lesser amounts of shoalgrass (Halodule
wrightii). The accurate workplat drawings have allowed this
office to calculate an impact area of 5700 sq. ft. to the
grass beds that is derived from an area measuring about 190'
.long x 30' wide. Additional displacement within the
entrance channel will impact other shallow water bottoms
averaging in depth from 2-3' deep. Approximate 8500 sq. ft.
of unvegetated bottomland will be displaced over a total
area of 280' x 30' wide. As proposed, the entrance channel
will intersect with the existing channel leading into the
Bogue Sound Yacht Club.
The 425' long highground access channel will be slightly
widened to a width of about 301. The expansion will involve
excavating a narrow strip of highground property about 5' to
8' wide for a distance of 200' long. The large pocket marsh
on the east side of the access channel will remain
undisturbed. As proposed, the small existing highground
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - BLUE HERON BAY/ROY H. MESSMER
PAGE #3
basin will be significantly increased. The new basin will
measure approximately 240' x 320' with an overall depth of
-4' on MLW. Land elevations in the highground basin area
average +5' to +61. Excavation within the basin will
generate approximately 25,000 cu. yds. of sandy dirt. This
material will be used throughout the development for
landscaping, road construction, and other purposes.
The interior shoreline of the basin and the access channel
will be bulkheaded. Approximately 1100 ln. ft. of bulkhead
will be installed. Within the basin, the developers will
construct 3 primary docks and piers offering a total of 63
boat slips and 1 slip for sewer pumpout services. In the
northwest corner of the basin, a concrete boat ramp (15' x
201) will allow trailer access in and out of the basin.
Other than off-street parking for 24 cars, the developers
will provide no amenities at the basin other than a small
gazebo (25' x 251) near the boat ramp.
The applicant has provided, on the workplat drawing, a list
of the impervious surface areas throughout the development.
Only 24.80 of the CAMA 75' estuarine shoreline Area of
Environmental Concern will be covered with concrete and
asphalt surfaces. This calculation also includes the
maximum allowable surfaces for individual house
construction on Lots 55 through 64 which border the basin
and Bogue Sound.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The surface waters of Bogue Sound are
classified as 'SA' and are open to the harvesting of
shellfish. Clams and scallops are abundant in this area of
Bogue Sound in the shallow water and the shallow water grass
beds immediately in front of the project site. At this
time, a 100' shellfish closure zone exists around the
entrance to Bogue Sound Yacht Club. The closure does not,
-however, appear to overlap with the proposed project.
The direct and possible indirect impacts of the entrance
channel on the submerged grass beds will be significant to
the local ecology. In addition, the 64 new boat slips may
require further closure of the active clam grounds in Bogue
Sound. This will significantly impact the public trust and
the availability to the general public for shellfishing.
The proposed highground basin, and the development of the
subdivision, should have no direct impacts on the estuarine
resources if water quality issues associated with the number
of boats and the flushing capability are satisfied.

CANA REVIEW SECTION: The Carteret County Land Use Plan
Update of 1985 classifies the highground property site as
"Community". The private, non-commercial community type
marina basin is considered an acceptable type of development
in those areas defined as "Community". The same has been
true in other cases with residential type developments with a
unit density of 1 to 23, or where lot sizes of 20,000 sq.
ft. are proposed.

This is in response to the subject public notice concerning a proposal to
enlarge a small existing boat basin and upland access channel one mile west of
Broad Creek, Bogue Sound, Carteret County, North Carolina.
Due to restraints in manpower and excessive workload, the Environmental
Protection Agency will not be able to review the permit application and attached
water quality data before the September 5, 1988%deadline. Consequently we are
requesting a 30 day time extension until October 5, 1988, to complete our
review.
Thank you for this consideration.
Sincerely yours,

REASON: Blue Heron Marina Application
Dear Mr. Owens:

DIY, OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANARMINT
Raleigh, NC
Attached is a petition signed by people who clam in the
vicinity of the proposed marina at Blue Heron subdivision. I
understand that the NC Division of Marine Fisheries failed to
find a clam resource in this area. This is understandable,
given the fact that I personally have clammed these waters and
know that they have been heavily harvested in the past. This
is actually a very productive clamming spot which should be
protected from any pollution.
There are extensive grassbeds that would he disturbed by this
project. No additional dredging or boating activity should be
allowed to occur around these beds. The idea that this project
would be considered to be "maintenance" dredging is ridiculous,
given that the previous use of this area was by small skiffs.
I actually had an additional two pages of signatures for this
petition that were lost from the counter of a nearby store.
This petition is meant to show you that this area has a
significant clam resource which deserves full protection. As a
person that has clammed all over the western end of Bogue
Sound, it is my opinion that this location rivals just about
anywhere else in the sound for clam production.
Please deny this permit. I request that you notify me and all
the people that signed this petition immediately of any changes
to the permit application or agency actions that are made. We
need to know of any changes to the application so that we can
respond'with our own comments.
Thank you for keeping us informed.
Sincerely
Harold/Morris
